Geocache Description:

A Five Stop Multi-Virtual, Wheelchair, Kid, and Pet Friendly. However, Parking Can Be a Challenge. Plus, You Might Just Learn Something!

This five part virtual is located at a place that can be very tranquil or very frantic depending on the day and time of your visit. At this site there are a number of objects worthy of study; the objects you are looking for should be distinctive. The stops can be done in any order, but the best bets as far as parking are nearest the first set of coordinates shown above. And because there are many buildings and trees in the area the coordinates will not be exact. But if you haven't figured out what objects you are seeking by the second stop then you will never make it at this place.

There are questions to be answered at each stop, and as is the norm with Virtual Caches, DO NOT POST ANY ANSWERS ON THIS SITE! E-mail me with your answers, our Board of Regents will review your answers, and I will e-mail you with a go ahead to log your find.

Stop #1 - coordinates shown above. This is the best place to park, as there are parking meters. Questions:
1. How many meters are there?
2. How much time will a Quarter buy you?
3. How many objects are there at this stop?

Stop #2 - N38° 32.262 W121° 44.962 Questions:
1. How many objects are there at this stop?
2. Is anyone at this stop in danger of drowning in a heavy rainstorm? Why or Why Not?

Stop #3 - N38° 32.353 W121° 44.876 Questions:
1. How many objects are there at this stop?
2. A few feet East of the object(s) there used to be a pay phone.. What remains?

Stop #4 - N38° 32.382 W121° 44.995 Questions:
1. How many objects are there at this stop?
2. A few feet West of the object(s) is a plaque that discusses a famous person. When did that person begin and end his/her teaching career? What are the dimensions of the object(s) at this spot?

Stop #5 - N38° 32.511 W121° 44.880 Questions:
1. How many objects are there at this stop?
2. Approximately 160 feet East of this stop is a square brick pillar. On the East side of the pillar there is a plaque. What was unlocked, who unlocked it, and when?

And a final question: What are these objects?

While you are seeking out the answers to the questions above, you might also want to seek out two other caches in the area. You will pass within 250 feet of the Pine Bridge Cache, and the Davis Stonehenge Cache is nearby to the West. Of course, since this cache is now over eight years old, these other caches may be gone.
